You're one of the few people I've ever seen post that Gibson is too loud,
most I've read detail how disappointed the owners are of Gibson exhausts
being too quiet or melow.
FWIW, I have a Flowmaster SUV 50 Series Performance muffler on my 2001 4.7
with dual 2 1/2 inch mandrell bent pipes dumping into 4 inch 'megaphone'
tips, and hell, doesn't it sound great!
